I'm delighted to announce that the Regional Conference and Annual General Meeting of London Liberal Democrats will take place on Saturday, November 15th, at Haverstock School, Chalk Farm.
It should be a pretty good event, especially with Chris Huhne as our guest speaker. There will be a European flavour to the event, especially as we're just nine months away from the next round of European Parliamentary elections.
There'll be a chance to question the Regional Executive, and this might be your best chance to ask questions about our recent campaign for the London Assembly. There'll also be a session where you'll have an opportunity to question a panel of elected representatives. We'll bring them all together at one time so that you can get an 'integrated' response. We might even get a little debate going amongst them...
In the breakout room, there will be consultation sessions on proposals for a new candidate selection system and the review of the GLA selection process.
Training will be provided by the Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors, who have already announced an exciting programme of activities, intended to help you (yes, you sir, you at the back eating that knit-your-own muesli bar!) fight and win elections - 2010 isn't that far away, you know.
We're hoping to get a guest speaker (or two), once Conference Committee has 'met' - I'm keen on establishing a virtual committee so as to avoid meetings - and there'll be more news on that as we get nearer to the event.
A mailing has already gone out to all duly nominated Regional Conference representatives, but if you aren't one, get in touch with your Local Party Secretary and find out if there's a vacancy for a substitute. Or just come along as a non-voting representative, you'll be more than welcome!
